Download a sample here.My Two Cents:For those who have never created a lapbook,Exploring Ancient Greece provides everything you need to know for your first lapbooking experience. The instructions and diagrams are detailed, and the templates are easy to assemble. If you are looking for a simple supplement to provide a broad overview of Ancient Greece, the study guide provides a great introduction to the life and times of Greece, simple enough for lower elementary students to understand and retain. Also included in the study guide are craft ideas, along with recipes for making a Greek meal. Like the Ancient Egypt lapbook, this was a great way for us to practice using our Key Word Outlines in preparation for Essentials. Although we originally intended to complete this lapbook during Weeks 3-4 of Classical Conversations, this lapbook was completed in one afternoon by my nine-year-old son, two weeks before starting our CC school year.

One unexpected benefit from completing this lapbook is that it gave us a chance to review and talk about our Story of the World readings from this summer - especially on the differences between Athens and Sparta. It was encouraging to hear how much Stephen and David remembered!
